Miss Geary! I'm not afraid of him! I've bested him before, and if he ever had the courage to meet me face-to-face, man-to-man... No. No, it can't be. Not afraid of me, you say? Stay back, or I'll kill you, I promise you! Of course. As you say, you've beaten me before. But that was a long time ago, Vicomte. And we were playing a different game. Look at you. Deep in debt. Stinking drunk. Pitiful. Shall we two make a bet? Devil take the hindmost. Look at you. Foul as sin. Hideous. Horrible. Call the stakes. Deal me in. Devil take the hindmost. Our Christine shall choose tonight. Let her choose. Is she yours or mine? Draw the line. If she sings, you lose tonight. I won't lose. You leave from here. Fine. Disappear. Fine. And if she won't? If I win? All your debts wiped away. Very well. Let's begin. Devil take the hindmost. You think you have the odds? You think you're in control? You've never fixed the dice? Well, I will gladly roll. I'll bet against the house. I'll even double down. Fate has redesigned most. I won her long ago. I won her from you. Then I freed her even now. I'll win her back again. And when the game is done, either way. Devil take the hindmost. Now Christine shall choose at last. Is she yours or mine? Weave a son. Our bond's secure. Are you sure? What? Are you so sure? What do you mean? Such a child. Strange to see. Different. Musical. Huh? Is he more you or me? Which one do you find most? You lie. Deal the cards. Let them fall. Choose your hand. Try your best. He who wins, wins it all. Devil take the hindmost. Deal the cards. Let them fall. Choose your hand. Try your best. He who wins, wins it all. Devil take the hindmost. She walks. You leave together. Pockets full. Debts paid. She sings. You leave alone. Devil take the hindmost. My God. What have I done? Look at me. The concert's only hours away.
